CHAS-registered clinics should list charges after subsidies on-site

Recently, I did some research on dental clinics that offer subsidies for teeth scaling and polishing to those under the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS). Those who hold the CHAS card receive subsidies for medical or dental treatments at clinics near their homes.

I have noticed there are quite a number of dental clinics who display their charges and services through posters and notices on their premises, and those who accept CHAS cards will put up the sticker for it as well. However, the prices displayed at the clinics are all full charges before subsidies, and new patients must walk in or even go online to find out the charges after subsidies. Different dental clinics seem to have different charges and subsidies for services.

I suggest that the authorities ensure that CHAS-registered dentists, and even general practitioners, make the post-subsidy charges more accessible and transparent at their clinics, whether or not this information is available on their websites.
